CDC Inca yellow pea

CDC Inca is a yellow cotyledon, semi-leafless field pea variety. It was registered and released to Select Seed Growers in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba in 2015.

In the 2016 Manitoba Field Pea Variety Trials, CDC Inca was the highest yielding yellow pea. In the 2016 Alberta Performance Trials, CDC Inca yielded 104% of CDC Amarillo. CDC Inca has PBR protection.
